Hate peeling the skin off garlic cloves? This is the fastest way to peel garlic cloves! Use the heel of your hand on broad side of your knife and press down on the cloves of garlic on your cutting board. The pressure you are putting on this side of the knife will push the garlic out of its skin without you having to remove the peel.
How to chop onions without crying? Cut off the onion top (or stem) and place it on the flat end. Slice the onion into two equal halves and place them face-down on the cutting board. Remove the peel from the onion, then slice lengthwise from the cut end to as close to the root as possible. Turn the onion around and chop across its width from the cut end. Finally, cut off the root end to have nicely chopped onion pieces!
